Although I greatly appreciate the expressions of sympathy and support I
have received since writing this, I feel I must clarify. My purpose was
not to elicit sympathy or support, and certainly not to threaten to
leave. Those of you who know me, will realize that you'll have to
forcibly eject me in order to get me to stop. And I expect that won't
happen until I post the "Add Latin superpositions with Klingon proxy
object trampolines" RFC. :-)
It was simply attempting to explain why I choose to ignore what are (to
me, at least) trivial implementation issues, well documented in the
compiler literature. I choose to ignore them because I *have* to ignore
them or my brain is going to melt.
